Def Leppard, Motley Crue & Steel Panther Planning Joint UK Winter Tour?

Furious-Red

It's the tour that rock fans have been waiting for! Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Steel Panther could be on their way to UK venues this Winter, with a co-headline tour possibly in the pipeline for December.

The mouthwatering prospect was talked about on Rock Radio this morning, with the radio station revealing that more details were to follow. Although this was all that was said, the news has sent fans into a frenzy looking for more information on what would be one of the biggest rock tours of the year.

The last twelve months have seen all three bands busy with touring and recording and a UK tour from each has been rumoured for a while. Def Leppard recently released their first ever live album 'Mirror Ball' and played a storming headline set at June's UK Download festival, Motley Crue have been busy touring the US with Poison and Steel Panther have been working on a new studio album. So all three bands have good reason to hit the UK live stage soon!

Check back to Stereoboard for more details on the tour as soon as they are revealed.

Def Leppard the cancer of a good lineup. Oh and the rest. Not my bag at all.

slavetothegrind

steady on with the cancer comment there Mr grin:eek:

is it too much to ask that the crue finally play dublin?????

honru

Since Def Leppard have already played here this year I really hope Steel Panther pop over the water for a headline gig. Maybe in The Academy? That would be sweet.

Furious-Red

Yea with DF only playing a few months ago it looks like it wont happen , but ive been dying to see Motley for years and really wanna see Steel Panther.

I found this on DME Facebook

New show announcement coming this Wednesday (17th). One for fans of classic rock and the like...

Would love if it was these guys

Motley Crue

Oh my God! That is all.


If this happens I will die happy....:D

Arrive for Steel Panther,hit the bar and get a few scoops in.

Motley hit the stage,go mad and rock the **** out.

Leppard arrive on stage,head for the exit and into town for more scoops.:)

I'd say at most you'd get Mötley Crüe in The Olympia with Steel Panther supporting.

Id be extremely happy with that , but chances are slim Motley will even pop over here

Why? I'm guessing the usual lack-of-an-adequate-venue reason?

slavetothegrind

i dunno about the olympia, i think they could do the o2.

you have several generations of fans and with the right media coverage they would surely sell as much as leppard and alice did!!!!

maybe thats wishful thinking, if they base it solely on sales then they won't bother.

still i cannot see Kiss having sold many records here over the years yet they played the o2?

honru

I would think Kiss are much bigger than Crüe tbh. Definitely couldn't see Crüe headline the O2 unless it was a co-headline with another big draw and some decent support.

Motley Crue

All of you can stop saying no, I believe the Crue are on their way!

Sorry lads, according to the DME facebook page, it's the Quireboys (Nov 27th, Whelans).

PTH2009

mcd had there chance to bring Motley to ireland last year to support Iron Maiden in the 02 in July 2009 but no they went for Sweet Savage

Het-Field

In fairness, thats not strictly true!

Ronnie James Dio's death, and the cancellation of Heaven & Hell's tour kinda messed up the bill a little

So it's Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Quireboys (I guess that makes sense given Joe's recent stuff with them in Down N' Outz but I would have preferred Steel Panther)

What? Is that true? Cause i'd like to know who thought Sweet Savage would be a better then Motley Crue.

Wasn't about who was better, tickets were nearly sold out so they didn't have to get s good support in to sell more.
Sweet savage would have cost maybe 5k, Crue more than 20 times that

Skintwin

Will this even happen over here though?
Obviously I'd love if it did come over, but with the way bands have toured over the last few years, you can't be sure. A lot of the bigger names just seem to gloss over Ireland and not bother coming at all!
Saying that....Death to all but METAL!

Ah I see. Would have be cool though. Crue haven't been here before so it would have been a big deal if they came.

Steel Panther have announced details of a special show in London in November.

The band will headline London's Electric Ballroom on November 8. Tickets are priced at £17.50 and will go on sale Friday, August 26 at 9am from Aloud.com.

The band have also revealed that their follow-up 2009's Feel The Steel will be called Balls Out and will be released on October 17 through Universal. A single, If You Really Really Love Me, will follow on November 7.

This is starting to look promising

The electric ballroom is not a venue for a gig containing those 3 either.

Because the new album is going to be called 'Balls Out'!:pac::pac:

Motley Crue

Because an American band are travelling to London to play a one off show, and these headline dates usually lead to something else or usually clash with said band performing as openers on a tour elsewhere. It's still a long way to come, if you're performing the following Monday in LA, just for one show.

Well,

I cant ****ing wait

Don't worry, the dates are still very real, Kerrang Radio were giving away tickets for the tour on their station this morning - tickets will actually be on sale at somestage next week, but no official price yet, believed to be around £35 and quite reasonable considering....you can expect an announcement after the UK holiday tomorrow

Members of Def Leppard have already informally confirmed this

I went to get tickets for this yesterday and Ticketmaster were telling me Manchester and Glasgow had no standing at 9.01 - didn't check seated, ended up getting a standing ticket in Sheffield, but from the look of the ticket selection page a massive amount of seats and tickets had been sold there as well. I think this tour has done really really well and could be, if not already, sold out.

rednik

Live nation are promoting this tour and they have a big investment in the 02 Dublin so why don't they put on a show here. I know leppard played here a few months ago which I was at, I still reckon with the three bands playing it would get a good crowd.

silvervixen84

I got my ticket for the Wembley gig on Thursday, it was a presale day. I think they went on sale officially yesterday.

They won't play there because Motley Crue have never, for some stupid reason will not, perform a show in the Irish Republic. The band even came as far as Belfast in the mid 80s but never went to Dublin then either.

As a point of note, Nikki cancelled the only Irish date Brides of Destruction were ever scheduled to play, and Tommy cancelled his Dublin DJ set a few years ago (with little to no reason)

I think I'm correct in saying that no member of Motley Crue has ever performed, in any capacity, in Southern Ireland - maybe one of them has an outstanding warrant or something???

Hi guys,

Just posting this on the off-chance that someone on here might have tickets for sale. I'm looking for 2 standing tickets for some friends who really want to go but missed buying tickets when they came out first.
They'll only pay face value but please pm if you can help!

Cheers,
Mar.

Im off to the Sheffield gig myself, but no spare tickets I'm afraid, I'm not suprised (but yet I guess I am if I'm posting) to find out they're all sold out. I'll keep an ear out - which date do you want to see?

Thanks for your replies guys!
It's the Wembley show, December 14th, that I need 2 tickets for.
Livenation and Ticketmaster have some seating tickets left but my friends really want standing tickets so they can rock out with the rest of us
Luckily enough I got in there early and have my ticket.

If anyone else has tickets for sale or can point me in the direction of some at face-value or close enough, please let me know!
Cheers,
Mar.
